The ground level is to be the zero level. When the elevator moves above the ground level, it is moving towards the positive integer and when the elevator moves below the ground level, it is moving towards the negative integer.
Elevator 2 moved down 6 feet from the ground level hence its position is labelled as
True y=2x+1 and y-3x=4 it would be the same way because you can solve for x and you can solve for y
I do not have answer for this question looking for help.
The smallest of the four numbers is x.
Since the four numbers are consecutive, this means that each number is one more than the previous.
Therefore, the four numbers are:
x
x + 1
x+1 + 1 = x+2
x+2 + 1 = x+3
Now, we are given that the sum (s) of the four numbers is 2174
This means that:
s = x+x+1+x+2+x+3
s = 4x + 6
We are given that s = 2174. Substitute with s in the above equation and solve for x as follows:
2174 = 4x + 6
4x = 2174 - 6
4x = 2168
x = 2168 / 4
x = 542
Based on the above calculations, the four numbers are:
542, 543, 544 and 555
